Gentle Arms Of Eden Lyrics - Singles - Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer

On a sleepy endless ocean when the world lay in a dream 

There was rhythm in the splash and roll, but not a voice to sing 

So the moon shone on the breakers and the morning warmed the waves 

Till a single cell did jump and hum for joy as though to say 

This is my home, this is my only home 

This is the only sacred ground that i have ever known 

And should i stray in th dark night alone 

Rock me goddess in the gentle arms of eden 

Then the day shone bright and rounder til the one turned into two 

And the two into ten thousand things, and old things into new 

And on some virgin beach head one lonesome critter crawled 

And he looked about and shouted out in his most astonished drawl 

This is my home ... 

Then all the sky was buzzin and the ground was carpet green 

And the wary children of the wood went dancin in between 

And the people sang rejoicing when the field was glad with grain 

This song of celebration from their cities on the plain 

This is my home ... 

Now there's smoke across the harbor, and there's factories on the shore 

And the world is ill with greed and will and enterprise of war 

But i will lay my burden in the cradle of your grace 

And the shining beaches of your love and the sea of your embrace 

This is my home ...
